I lived on Brookvale until the year 2000, always used to visit Sutton Weaver. I remember the Post Office and the strawberry farm. I believe the fields that Brookvale was built on were owned by the Squire Talbot, does anyone have any memories before the subway and expressway were built?. I think Ridding Lane used to connect the village to Northwich Road before these were constructed. Did the village end at the railway bridge or were there houses on Ridding Lane too?.
I have just indulged in a captivating trip down memory lane. What a fantastic little site.
I grew up in the village from 68 - 88 and my parents still live in Beech Road. Great to read about your thriving community.
good articles and great information about Sutton Weaver, Cheshire, United Kingdom. i hope someday will visiting :)

Well , well , hello George, or should i say 'Gud' as we Sutton Weaver boys used to call you.
For those who dont know , i grew up with Gud and also lived in the village from 1953 -1978.Originally living in The Cottage ,Chester Rd, then moving to 24,Cedar Ave with my mother Ann , my brother Ivor and my sister Blodwen .This was following my fathers death in 1969.I clearly remember George and his sister Connie and brother David (Sammy).
I currently live in Great Sutton on the Wirral but go 'home' frequently as i play golf at Sutton Hall .I went to Aston Primary school and then on to Frodsham. M and some of the locals set up a Youth Club in St Peters Church Hall around 1970 . Do you remember?
Great to catch up some time. Pat.

Recently discovered that the ~8 year old boy Harry Peacock in the foreground of the photograph/postcard taken in 1930 of the post office (http://www.suttonweaver.co.uk/#/history/4541469662) is my grandfather as confirmed by my father.
I remember hearing stories from my grandmother, aunt and father of how my grandfather first grew up here and how my great grandparents Harry and Alice (nee Faulkner) Peacock ran the post office and confectionary shop.
It's great site and lot's of sevices included here...
Thanks
good content on local news, particularly enjoyed the homewatch section, keep up the good work..
great that we have got a christmas tree at last in the village, however the lights are proving to be inadequate as they cannot even be seen at night , can we have some brighter ones please.
In 45 years it is the first time that sutton weaver has had it's own Christmas tree! Itis so nice to see the school kids adding their own decorations to it-should be done every year.
Thanks for an interesting read. I was a resident of Sutton Weaver from about 1968 until 1990. I remember the M56 and the New Town being built and vaguely remember the Church Hall being moved from the other side of the rail line to its current location.
What a great web site, just wish the likes of Norton / Halton could have remained seperated from the rest of the new town just like Sutton Weaver
Hi Claire. i found a report on the Sutton Tunnel accident of 1851....At
http://www.railwaysarchive.co.uk/eventsummary.php?eventID=1779
hope this will help you.
phil
Is there a way to find out the names of the individuals who were killed from the Sutton Tunnel accident and those that died later?
a lovely little village a gem in this world we live in may it stay the same always
How nice to see the planters at the end of Station Road.
What a shame that the slowly fading bunting has now faded into total obscurity. I thought that it added a touch of 'je ne sais quoi' to the village
Well after working at the weaver park ind est for nearly 14 years and using the swing bridge for that time i can honestly say after looking on this website and haveing been told by people popping into our yard to tell us about the repairs, i have 3 versions of whats going to happen!!
I have been told it was 12 months then 9 months then after reading this website its 10 months, to repair the bridge, How ever after going over the bridgefor nearly 14 years not one major repair has been done to it apart from the odd road surface repairs, so why has it took so long to get to the stage of a major repair???
I am the depot manager of a company who use the bridge every day for heavy trucks and lads to gain access for work and then gaining access to the motorway once at work, the road network is bad enough at rush hour and market day in frodsham,and if the bridge is closed down to one lane with also the weight limit ,this would cause major delays and also major costs to the company i work for.
I will look forward to putting more concerns i have at the meeting that you have at forest hills on thursday at 6.30.
My late parents, Joyce and Stanley Bedford, used to run the old Sutton Weaver PO. Besides the post, there was a grocery shop and newspapers,
i worked at sutton hall for mr faukner from1960 to1963 and my mother violet worked for mrs faukner in the hall from 1950 to the late 1960.i also you to beat for squire tolbut in the winter months.
woohooooo, Debs found me!! Thanks for the site and a friendship renewed :)
thankyou for the site i have found an old friend who posted on here having seen my original post. not seen him since 1980/1 looking forward to hearing from him. thx again
Hello there, the post card of the post office shows my uncle Harry Peacock. I am othe eldest of his sister Eileen's three sons who is currently living in Ashton Hayes. This picture is very interesting and I wonder if you have the others which were commissioned by my grandfather also Harry Peacock. I think my father William Sydney Garnett lived down the lane shown in this picture opposite the shop. If you have any more information i would be very interested to see it. Many thanks Bill Garnett.
I'm trying to track down a long lost penpal who I think has signed this guestbook....Debbie Turner nee Clough. I was in Stockon Heath with my parents in 1980 on a working holiday from N.Z..If I have the right Debbie, please leave a message or email petehansen5@hotmail.com.

Hi,
What a lovely site. It is 30+ years since I left Liverpool bound for New Zealand. so I am really glad to see places like Sutton Weaver are still alive and kicking.
I have looked at the website a couple of times and love the old photographs, my husband and I both own the old post office since Oct 2007 and I have not seen that photo before it looks great.
I'm writing my family story. We lived at 'The haven' 95 Chester Rd from about 1952 to 1960. I have included this hyperlink. I attended Daresbury School and then Aston. Eventually going to Helsby Grammar till we moved toward Manchester. My father was Works Engineer at Gaskell Marsh in Widnes.I'll have to see if we have any photos.
Fab website, I'm adddicted. I've loved living here the past ten years and love the pictures.
On behalf of the Park committee I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you who attended the opening event yesterday, considering the huge down poors we had we were all really pleased that so many people made the effort to come.
Yesterday I took my 5 year old grandson for our first visit to the play area.
He had a brilliant time and the rolling log antics were the cause of much amusement!.
Thanks to everyone who was involved in creating such a superb facility for the village.
Many thanks Brian for keeping our village informed,us new boys need it.
